Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that a teaching assistant at the University of Iowa, Ugochukwu Madu, highlighted steps students who graduated with a low CPGA can take to improve their chances of securing a fully-funded scholarship abroad.
Madu said scholarships abroad are not meant for only first-class graduates, hence, there’s no need to write themselves off because they graduated with a low CGPA.
He explained that CGPA is just one out of many other requirements as some first-class graduates are still struggling to get scholarships because they have yet to get the other requirements right.
